Lost To You

Chapter 32

~ Audrey's POV ~
*2 Days Later*

"AUDREY!" Deborah squeals as I enter the hotel suite. My plane landed and I immediately came to the Hilton. I'm still paying for the room, so I should come here anyway.

"Hi." I smile and she hugs me tightly.

"God, you're huge! Only a few more months!" She gushes and I nod in response. I push my sunglasses further up my face, I'm not ready to show them my blackened eye.

"Cute sunglasses." She compliments as Joseph and Niall walk into the room.

"Audrey!" Joseph exclaims and gives me a hug.

"Hey!" I smile at the two boys and gulp. I'm not fully over the phone call yet....

"How was-uhhh....how are you?" Niall says and I laugh nervously.

"I'm grateful to be back." I say and the three of them frown slightly.

"Aud-" I cut Joseph off.

"I got airplane belly. I'm going to take a nap then we can do whatever, yeah?" I say and they all nod.

"Yeah. Tonight we were all having a party at the condo...you guys should drop by." Niall informs us and Deborah tells him we will all be there.

"Okay! Cool! See you later, Audrey." Niall says and hugs me before leaving the hotel.

"I'm going too?" I ask and Deborah smiles.

"You bet."

I throw my cover up at the mirror in frustration. I can't fucking cover up this bruise! Dammit! I sigh and slip on my sunglasses before looking at my appearance. I look like shit. Complete shit. Stupid fucking party, I don't want to go watch people get drunk and make out while I sit awkwardly and play flappy bird.

"Audrey, ready?" Deborah comes in with a smile and I sigh.

"Sure?" I grab my bag and we walk out of the hotel room with Joseph and Deborah.

"Audrey....can we see it?" Joseph questions while we pile into the back of the cab. I ignore his plea to look at my bruise and stare out the window in silence.

I'm not ready to face Harry. Not after the phone call, and I'm sure his girlfriend is going to be there. No doubt in my mind that this party will be absolute hell for me. I hope Ashely's a bitch...or ugly. Ugh! You broke up with him, let him move on.

"We're here!" The can driver says and Joseph pas him before we all exit the vehicle and make our way up the stairs to the oh so familiar condo. Deborah assumes we just to in and she opens the door to let the three of us in. As we step into the condo it's completely dark. What the hell?

"SURPRISE!" I jump at everyone's scream I'm and the lights on turned on to reveal Harry, Liam, Niall, Louis, Zayn, Ashton, a few girls, and some other guys I don't recognize.

"Surprse what?" I ask and everyone looks at me like I'm crazy, including Deborah and Joseph.

"Happy birthday!" Liam exclaims and I feel my face pale. Birthday?

"We all feel bad that your birthday was forgotten, and this is our apology." Louis explains and I sigh.

"I didn't forget." Harry says proudly.

"Audrey! Holy crap I have heard so much about you! I'm so glad I finally get to meet you. I'm Perrie." A blonde says and hugs me. Oh.

"I wish I could say the same about you. H-how do you know me exactly?" I question and force a smile onto my face.

"Harry, of course! I'm Zayn's girlfriend." She gushes and I nod in understanding.

"So Audrey, we wanted to have a party where you could meet all of our girls, and celebrate your birthday!" Zayn says and Perrie walks back over to Zayn.

"T-that's really nice of you guys..." I say. I don't want to celebrate my birthday at all, but how can I tell them that?

"Come! Sit!" Niall says and the three of us make our way over to the couch to take seats on the couches. I ended up sitting between Deborah and Perrie.

"Okay I'll start? I'm Sophia, Liam's girlfriend." She sits on his lap and I smile at their affection.

"I'm Eleanor, Louis's girlfriend." Damn. She could be a model.

"You already know Ashton but I'm Calum." A black-haired boy says and I smile.

"I'm Micheal." Purple hair...that's fucking awesome.

"I like your hair." I tell him and he laughs.

"Thank you." He says.

"And I'm Luke." He smiles as me and I smile back. This is uncomfortable.

"I'm Ashely, Harry's girlfriend." Holy shit she's gorgeous. Like, really gorgeous.

"H-hi." I'm and idiot.

"I love your sunglasses." She gushes and I smile lightly. Great. She's nice and pretty. Two qualities I don't have.

"Thank you." I say and everything goes silent. I look at Harry and he wraps his arms around her. Oh.

"When are you due?" Eleanor asks and I look at her.

"Uhh...four-ish months. The next ultra sound will determine the date actually." I tell her and she smiles.

"Boy or girl?" Sophia questions.

"Boy." I respond.

"Who's the father? Your boyfriend I'm assuming?" Ashely says and I look at Harry. She doesn't know?

"Not my boyfriend. His name is Zachary...we broke up after he found out about the baby." I tell her and she frowns.

"I'm sorry...I didn't know." She says and I smile.

"It's fine! I don't care getting asked that question anymore." I assure and Harry rubs circles on her knee. Oh.

"Why do you still have your sunglasses on?" Ashton asks and tense.

"It's bright in here, no?" I say and a few people laugh.

"I guess so...." He says and then looks at his shoes.

"Take them off." Zayn says and I widen my eyes.

"I'm good." I say.

"Why not?" Joseph presses and I look at him across the room with a glare.

"You guys suck." I mutter before removing the shades from my face and placing them in my bag.

"Audrey..." Deborah trails off once she sees my eye.

"I told you!" I exclaim and hear multiple gasps from around the room.

"What happened?" Perrie asks and I look at Joseph for guidance.

"Doorknobs don't like me." I lie and everyone chuckles except Harry, Liam, Niall, Zayn, Louis, Deborah, and Joseph.

"Ouch." Calum says and I nod.

"So is today your birthday?" Eleanor asked and I shake my head no.

"It was on Sunday." I tell her and she opens her mouth in shock,

"How old are you?" Ashely asked.

"20." I click my tongue on the roof of my mouth and everyone becomes mute.

"I feel like I know you! This is really trippy." Perrie says from beside me.

"Yeah?"

"Mhm. Harry would never shut up about you! It was always Audrey this Audrey that. It was quite amusing actually." Ashely coughs after Perrie finishes talking and we all look at her

"Babe? Are you okay?" Harry asks her with a smile. Babe? Are you okay?

"Huh? Yeah. I'm great." Someone's a jealous bitch!

"So, where are you from?" Luke was quick to change the subject.

"California." I reply.

"California?! I've always wanted to go there!" Eleanor smiles and I chuckle.

"I was just there, actually." I say and she raises her eyebrows.

"Really? When?" She asks.

"I was there for about 5 days. I came back just this morning." I smile at her.

"Why did you go there anyway?" Sophia adds.

"My mothers funeral." I say and everyone gasps.

"I'm sorry for your loss." Perrie says and I shrug.

"Yeah. That's where she was hit with a doorknob." Louis frowns and I glare at him.

A few people had drank quite a bit, and soon we were all sitting in a circle playing truth or dare like 12 year olds.

"Louis! Truth or dare?" Deborah asked him and he took another sip of his beer before answering my best friend.

"Dare."

"I dare you to...take a body shot off of Eleanor." She says and he smiles. I pick up my phone and begin scrolling through my Instagram feed. I'm really not interested in theses childish games. They're stupid.

"Harry, truth or dare?" Louis asks him, and I force myself to keep my eyes on my phone.

"Dare." He answers sharply.

"I dare you to kiss the girl you love." He says and I tense. I look up and see Ashely smiling at him, but Harry's eyes are glued on me.

I bring my eyes back to my phone and then feel Zayn tense beside me. I glance at. Harry and sure enough his lips are locked with Ashley's. Tears fill my eyes and I look back at my black screen.

"Audrey! Truth or dare?" Harry asks and I feel a rush of confidence come over me.

"Dare." I manage to blink back my tears and put on a strong front.

"I dare you to kiss Niall." He says and Niall widens his eyes in horror.

"That would be like kissing my brother!" I exclaim and Harry sighs.

"Kiss...Luke."

~ Harry's POV ~

She looks at Luke nervously and I smirk. She won't do it....she won't.

"Okay." She shrugs and walks over to where he is in the circle. I tense as he smiles at her.

"You 're going through with it?" Luke asks her and she nods. Zayn laughs and he leans in to kiss Audrey. My insides burn as he tugs her closer to him by placing his hand on the back of her neck. Fuck. She pulls away and stands up to walk back to her seat.

"Ashely, truth or dare?" Audrey asks her and she smiles.

"Truth." Of course.

"How long a have you and Harry been together?"

Shit.
